If your program functions, it's functional.

What if my program is objectionable?

And if it doesn't have objects, then it has no class!

Functions, here, being the key word.

Functions are pure mappings from input to output.

I agree with you that if you use functions it's functional.

But many people don't really realize how that contrasts with procedures and procedural code.
